The woman charged in last month’s fatal stabbing of transgender woman Maya Young had her preliminary hearing delayed by a week to take place on the same day as her male co-defendant.
Tiffany Floyd, 24, and Jose Pena, 19, both face charges of murder and conspiracy. They are scheduled for preliminary hearings at 9 a.m. March 23 in room 306 of the Criminal Justice Center, 1301 Filbert St. But court staff has said it’s likely to be a status hearing, meaning more time will elapse before a judge decides whether there is enough evidence to proceed to trial.
Judge Patrick F. Dugan is scheduled to preside over the March 23 court action.
Floyd and Pena have been denied bail. She remains in custody in Riverside Correctional Facility while he’s in Summit Academy, a juvenile facility.
Both were charged in relation to the Feb. 20 fatal stabbing of Maya Young in Frankford. Around 11:50 p.m. police responded to reports of a stabbing near 4900 Griscom St. When officers arrived, they found Young suffering from several stab wounds to the neck and chest. They transported her to Aria Health Frankford, where officials pronounced her dead at 12:21 a.m. Feb. 21.
